[Lyric] Initiation into the Mystery (Spectral Lore)

Τhe sages of old took on to enlighten men
By telling us to lift our gaze towards the above
Yet did not mention that we can only go as far
As the shackles and the prison walls
That bind our mortal shells allow

O wise ones, why do we stand on the battlefield
With righteousness and honor on our side
But our limbs betray us with weakness?

For you to exalt the spirit meant
To wage war on the vessel that it comes with
Such is your trust to the Eternal Soul!

And so you taught us to hate the rottenness of the flesh
As much as its pleasures
To be ignorant of our own ownership of our flesh
And our power to transform it

A TOTAL REVOLUTION OF THE SPIRIT DEMANDS FOR
A TOTAL REVOLUTION OF THE BODY
Dark mother, allow me entrance
Into the forgotten catacombs
Of somatic wisdom
True power comes from surrender

Woe to those who have understood the path
To the stars as a solitary quest
When the Other is always missing
It stands in secret opposition
